Ten Count - Alternative Ending

2

After we've finished our coffee, we went to Kuroses house. When we arrived there, we went inside and Kurose went directly to the living room. I just stood awkwardly in the hallway, not knowing what to do.
"Come on in!" Kurose shouted from the living room. "Everything is clean, so don't worry!"
I blushed slightly and stumbled into the room. Kurose was already sitting on the couch and padded on the spot beside him. I hesitated for a few seconds but eventually I sat down with a big gap between us. There was an awkward silence between us for a few minutes.
"So, uhm... how do you want to do it?" Kurose asked to break the silence.
"I-I don't know..." I answered, not looking at him. "How about we watch a movie? I think it's easier like that." He suggested.
"O-ok. But which one?"
"I don't know, you can decide if you want"
I blushed. Again. Kurose noticed that and smiled at me. "You don't have to be so nervous, it's just cuddling. And you even made this list." I blushed even more and didn't know what to say.
"H-How about we watch Titanic? I really like that movie..." I tried to change the subject. "Sure, if you want." Kurose stood up and went to the TV to start the movie.
He then came back to the couch and sat down beside me, but not with the huge gap from before, more like he sat down exactly next to me!
I tried to shuffle away from him just to get a little gap between us, but Kurose put his arm over my shoulder and pulled me in his arms.
„Why so shy?“ he asked a little teasing.
„I-I-I’m not shy!“ I scoffed and tried to relax while slowly resting my head on his chest.
Kurose took a satisfied sigh and started to play with my hair.
I listened to his heartbeat and felt his slow breathing.
The film already got to the story part and I was still lying there a little uncomfortable because kurose pulled me over with a little force, so I moved my back more to Kuroses body until my head was up to his neck and I could cuddle up to his warm skin.
Kurose seemed to like that because he let out a approving sigh and leaned his head against mine.
The movie was slowly coming to an end, which means that Jack is about to die. This was one of the saddest scenes I've ever seen. I already felt the tears stinging in my eyes but when the movie finally ended, I was crying. Kurose seemed to notice that, because he just held me tighter than before. He let himself fall back on the couch so I was on top of him. I just buried my head in his chest, not caring about my phobia right now.
"Hey, it's okay. I know this movie is sad so just let it all out." Kurose said in a soothing voice and kissed the top of my head.
We stayed in that position for a long time before we both fell asleep.
